Center Text in TextField Dynamically

How on earth do you center text within a text field
dynamically....e.g. textField.align = "center" or
textField.autoSize = "center" ....nothing works?
BTW...is it just me or is the adobe site just plain slow and
almost unusable to everyone else too. It has to be one of the
slowest loading sites I visit and the menu at top takes forever to
load completely also, Has there been discussion on that?

You are using the align property incorrectly. You do not
apply it directly to the textfield but to the textformat property.
var format:TextFormat = new TextFormat();
format.align = "center";
textField.setTextFormat(format);

  • Printing all text in a dynamic scrollable textfield

    Hi,
    I have search alot about solutions for solving the problem
    about trying to print all text in a dynamic Scrollable Text. There
    is no answer for this. So, is there a simpel way to print all the
    text in a dynamic scrollable textfield?
    Because the text is dynamic, there is possible that the text
    can be 1- 100 pages.
    Please help me out.

    Is there an easy way to determine the character count that is visible in a given multi-line text field when designing the form, so if I want to allow 500 characters, the text box I create is large enough for 500 characters?  Obviously I can just do a trial and error process using a cut and paste of 500 characters and testing it, but is there an easier way?

  • Flash AS2: Setting text of textfield through code causes some characters to be deleted

    I have the following line of code to set the text of a Dynamic textfield:
    boxCopy.text = 'Coming soon: 30th January 2014';
    but when I compile the file, it shows as: 'Coming soon: 0th January 201'
    I have no idea why this is. The font character set contains all the numeric characters, so it should display it.
    Anyone got any ideas?
    Thanks, Stefan

    Normally whenever there is an issue with characters not displaying the solution is to embed the font in the textfield.

  • Buttons to send html text to textfield

    How do I insert html text to a dynamic textfield?
    The textfield's instance is called myDynamic. The first button is called button1_btn. I've read on htmlText and multiline, but I can't figure out how to simply attach a text to a button and, when the button is pressed, the htmlText is sent to the field.
    var firstText = "";
    firstText.multiline = true;
    firstText.htmlText = "<p>test.</p>";
    button1_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, myInner);
    function myInner (m:MouseEvent):void {
      myDynamic.htmlText = firstText;

    That should be working, but for some reason it's not, so I'm guessing the problem lies with the textfield, because I tested the button by changing the function to gotoAndStop and it seems to be working, but only under some odd condition. I created the textfield manually, not with AS3, but that shouldn't make any difference, since I gave it an instance name. I work with scenes (not my choice) and I'm noticing some odd behavior, and I wonder if it may have anything to do with my problem.
    For example, when I change the function to gotoAndStop (1, "del2"), the button, which is directed to del2 (part 2) will not work if you click on del3 (part 3) right away; however, if you click on del2 first, then on del3 again, and you click the button, then it's working. As for the textfield, it won't work either way; the only thing I've noticed is that if you go to del2 and back to del3, a mystical "e" appears. I wish I could explain myself better, so instead I invite you to check it out (it will only take you 20 seconds).
    How to reproduce the 'error':
    1. Go to http://studenter.miun.se/~stti1400/test2.swf;
    2. Click on Del3;
    3. Click on the yellow button in the upper left corner, under "1" (it doesn't work);
    4. Now click on Del2;
    5. Click on Del3;
    6. Notice the "e"; now click the same button as before (it takes you to del2).
    In case you want to check the fla-file: http://studenter.miun.se/~stti1400/test2.fla
    I played around a bit, changing the text of the variable to something else, like "okokokokok"; the "e" doesn't appear then. I first thought the "e" was a fragment of the text, with the rest of the text not showing.

  • How to change the text of label dynamically

    Hi all,
    I have done a dynpro program.It requires to implement the dynamically display the label text, for example: there is a label, sometimes, we want to display "Purchase Order" and sometimes we want to display "Sales Order". Can anyone tell me how to change the text of label according to my requirements? thanks in advance!

    Hi Wei,
    AS of now you will not be able to change the Text Field ( Label ) dynamically or at runtime. This is a limitation.Refer to this link:
    http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/e4/2adbef449911d1949c0000e8353423/frameset.htm
    But, there is a way around.
    You can make a text field Visible / Invisible based on your program logic. So, based on what you want, you can process a module which will take care of that.
    Have a look at these DEMO Code. You can have a good idea to implement the logic.

  • Vertically Center Text in a Text Box

    Just switched form Acrobt 6 to Acrobat Pro 9 and can't figure out how to verically center text in a text box.  When I select the text it gives me the properties bar shown below:
    Seems like a really dumb question because I know I could in Acrobat 6 and I don't know why they would take away that feature, but I can't find it anwywhere.

    The only time the More button is enabled is when I have the Text Box selected, and then the options pertain to the line weight, etc. of the box and not the text.  When I select the text the More button is not enabled and the only options properties are the ones shown above.
    I made the Text Box by going to "Tools", "Comment & Markup", "Text Box Tool".  I have not seen anything that says Multiline and when I searched help it only talked about multiline fields in forms.
    Thanks for the quick responses.

  • How to center text in shapes

    how to center text in shapes. specifically circles.  I want text to be centered directly in the middle

    A lot depends on what you mean by centered, the number of lines of text, the actual font, and whether there are descenders.
    Using vertical justification set to centered may or may not work for you, depending on the above factors, as it depends on the baseline, I believe, rather than the acutal glyph dimensions. You could try adding baseline shift, I suppose, to make fine vertical adjustments, or you can bite the bullet and use the old-fashioned method of two frames.

  • Center TEXT in JTextArea?

    Is it possible to center text in a JTextArea?
    I searched it but nothing on the web ... Is there another way to do this?
    with JTextPane or JTextEditor?
    I want just to center some text ....
    Thanks

    Do you want editable centered text or do you just want to display centered text and thought that JTextArea/JEditorPane/JTextPane was the only way to do it?
    If you just need to display centered text, you can use JLabel with HTML tags:
    Example:
    String message = "<HTML><CENTER>Centered Text!!!<BR>With line breaks even!!!</CENTER><HTML>"
    JLabel centered = new JLabel(message);

  • Center text in photobook

    how do I center text in a photobook?
    thank you

    JASCHI:
    Welcome to the Apple Discussions. You have to copy the text that you've entered, past it in a text editor where you can change the alignment to center, recopy and then repast into the book text field. Be sure to check the text by creating a pdf of the book before ordering to make sure it gets rendered as you want.
    Do you Twango?
    TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
    I've written an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

  • Center text inside shape in titler?

    Is there any way to center text inside a shape within the titler?   For example let's say I use the Rounded Rectangle Tool to create a shape and put it in the lower third of title area, then use the Text Tool to type in a line of text.  For now I'm having to manually position the text over the shape.  Curious if there is anyway to get the equivalent of the Center buttons for a text on shape situation?   If my question / situation doesn't make sense here, I can post a screen shot.   Thanks.

    Once a post has a Reply, the OP cannot Edit, or Delete it - only a MOD can do so.
    However, as others might encounter the same issue, and could learn from this thread, I think that it would be good to keep it up.
    Yes, both Objects (whether Text, Shape, etc.) need to be Selected, to use the Alignment Tools. Glad that you found that.
    Good luck,

  • Center text vertically in 6i

    I was wondering if there was a way to center text vertically in a text field in forms 6i.
    I have a banner at the top of my form as a text item, and I need the value(s) to be centered horizontally(which I have already done) and vertically which I am wondering how to do. Could someone please tell me how?
    TIA

    It does not. It's specific to table cells, or things with the
    table-cell
    display style.

  • How do I center text in Final cut Pro?

    Hi, does anyone know how to directly center text with more than one line of text in Final Cut Pro?
    If I have more than one line it doesn't seem to center properly. I've tried wireframe (which is inaccurate), center values (which doesn't work) and Boris 3D (which does the job but the space between letters isn't accurate so I need to try an alternative method).
    Any ideas?

    In Title 3D you use the Position X/Y button to adjust the height. The spacing between the letters in Title 3D can be adjusted both in tracking and in kerning by placing the cursor between a letter pair. Title 3D is perhaps one of the most accurate and precise text positioning titlers available in any software.

  • How do you center text in a JOptionPane?

    How do you center text in a JOptionPane?
    JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null,"File(s) Moved Successfully","Finished", JOptionPane.PLAIN_MESSAGE);

    Instead of adding the string "File(s)...", create a
    JPanel. Add your text as a JLabel to this JPanel
    using the appropriate LayoutManager. Now add the
    JPanel in place of "File(s)..." in the
    showMesageDialog call.Or just use a JLabel, set its alignment to center and add the label instead of the string.
